Warning to Angmering cat owners as pets are poisoned by anti-freeze

A concerned Angmering resident has issued a warning after a number of cats were poisoned by anti-freeze.

The woman, who did not wish to be named, said a number of cats had been poisoned around Greenacres Ring.

Residents are being advised to be vigilant and contact police if they see any suspicious behaviour.

A flier issued to homeowners says: “A number of cats have recently died having been poisoned by car anti-freeze.

“Sadly, there is a belief that the poisonings are not accidental.

“Causing pain, suffering and death to domestic animals is no only cruel but a crime.

“There are harmless ways of discouraging cats from gardens.

“Poisoning causes pain and death to poor innocent animals and awful distress to the families that love them.”

A police spokesman said: “We have received a report that several cats have been poisoned in the Littlehampton area however there is nothing to suggest it is deliberate. No cat owners have come forward.”

To report an incident call police on 101.
